Some might take issue with the terminology used in the question, however. After all, asking respondents if they favor banning "assault weapons" is one thing -- asking them about "semi-automatic rifles" is another, and may result in different responses.

Anyway, here's a few other interesting tidbits from the polling (for the full results, including a link to the survey crosstabs, click here):

-- The NRA isn't as unpopular as you might think. Forty-four percent have a favorable opinion of it, compared to 43 percent who have an unfavorable opinion.

-- We love us some Amy Klobuchar. With a 65 percent approval rating, she's "one of the most popular Senators in the country," according to PPP's poll summary.

-- Democrats would like to see Hillary Clinton emerge as the Democratic candidate for president in 2016. "[E]ven with Klobuchar in the mix, 59% of Minnesota Democrats want Clinton to be the next nominee with Biden at 14% and Klobuchar at 11%," PPP writes.
